Combat between the Horatii and Curiatii 

"Combat between the Horatii and Curiatii" is a wood engraving by John Leech, a prominent English caricaturist and illustrator of the 19th century. The engraving depicts a scene from Roman legend, where three Horatii brothers fight three Curiatii brothers to settle a conflict between Rome and Alba Longa. The image captures the intensity and drama of the battle, with the figures engaged in a fierce struggle. Leech's style, known for its detailed and expressive linework, is evident in the intricate depiction of the soldiers' armor, weapons, and facial expressions. The background, showing a crowd of spectators and a distant cityscape, adds to the sense of historical context.
